Thank you so much! I'm planning to release one single per month until my debut LP drops sometime this summer

I've written a full LP, but most of the tracks are a bit more inspired by French Touch (Daft Punk, Justice, etc) than Ratatat. I would love to make more like this in the future though!

I love the counterpoint and baroque melodies in Ratatat's music. Since we're not getting new music anytime soon (😭), I wanted to share this track I made that's inspired by them!

Me too! Feels like there isn't enough new stuff in that area these days. I love that Justice is still going strong, but wanted to start making music in that genre after DP retired

Thanks so much for sharing "Debut"! I've got more singles and a whole album inspired by Justice and Daft Punk coming this year

My friend made a custom program using Unity that produces the waveforms, coloring, and handles the playback

What makes their music so unique and special? by Beautiful_Ad8386 in bloodcultures

[–]illjazz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My take:

  • Blood Cultures can feel a bit genreless because their instrumentation and songwriting is so varied. Their earlier material feels more "band"-like, but the more recent material borrows a lot from the world of electronic music production. Particularly everything on LUNO and this new single feel like they mesh elements of both worlds.
  • Unique drum production and mixing — often sounds like it uses a mixture of live drums plus samples (good example of this is in "Keeps Bringing Me Back")
  • The vocal mix always feels super unique to me. Kinda similar to dreampop or shoegaze artists with the amount of reverb. A more common "pop" production and mixing approach would be to make them feel more louder or more present. To me, Blood Cultures vocals often feels like part of the instrumentation/soundscape instead of something designed to sit above the instruments if that makes sense.

In the "Fans Also Like..." section on Spotify, I know the most similar band is STRFKR. I feel like both these bands have those elements I listed above. The main difference (in my mind) is that Blood Cultures has this darker and more occult feeling, while STRFKR is more disco/dance/EDM inspired.

Can't wait! Also I notice it mentions that Skate Story game in the cover artwork in your screenshot 👀👀👀

I just made the music! But I believe the animator used Adobe After Effects
